Cookerati

While I love complicated and time consuming recipes as much as the next person, at this time of the year I whip out my collection of super easy holiday cookies.  I had seen the Pioneer Woman’s two step recipe for candy cookies a while back and immediately bookmarked it, knowing it would fit perfectly into my repretoire.  Basically it goes like this:

Step One: open refrigerated premade dough of cookie of your choice and bake in chunks in a mini muffin pan

Step Two:  insert candy of your choice

Optional Holiday Step Three: add red or green sprinkles!

I used brownie dough and Hershey’s chocolate caramel kisses.  Pioneer Woman advises to insert candy into the dough immediately upon removal from the oven, but I found that giving the cookies about 10 minutes to cool kept the candy from melting into oblivion.  Refridgerating the candy helped as well.

These came out so good I have a feeling they will mysteriously disappear before the Christmas party!
